    What you're actually makes great sense, but what about when it comes to taxes...that's where the majority of the parties differ! For example, us The Royal Family and The People's Party.

    I'm not completely knowledgable about all the parties as there are 6 of them and I just joined the forums today. Those parties have similar views. I'm not saying they agree on everything but I don't suspect there will be 6 parties after a few elections. I could see this happening two ways. One a party evaporates from a lack of support and the remaining supporters move to another similar party, Another way is if two or more parties merger while compromising on certain issues. Like if the anarcho-capitialist movement were to merger with the conservative coalition party to form a free market, Gun rights sort of party with low taxes and support for smaller government. now it wouldn't be perfect as many compromises would have to be made as with taxes which are very different depending on which party you look at. the capitalist movement would likely have to compromise on things like gun laws and drug legalization but these two parties have a lot in common. 


  2. A two party system is an inevitable part of politics for many countries. People who support similar policy's will band together to push them through. I can see the ccp party and the capitalist party banding to together as well as the royal, people's , and communist party

    Five Characteristics of a Lucious Times Economy

    1. The government creates a central economic plan. The five-year plan sets economic and societal goals for every sector and region of the country. Shorter-term plans convert the goals into actionable objectives. 

    2. The government allocates all resources according to the central plan. It tries to use the nation's capital, labor and natural resources in the most efficient way possible. It promises to use each person's skills and abilities to their highest capacity. It seeks to eliminate unemployment.

    3. The central plan sets the priorities for the production of all goods and services. These include quotas and price controls. Its goal is to supply enough food, housing, and other basics to meet the needs of everyone in the country.

    It also sets national priorities.  These include mobilizing for war or generating robust economic growth.

    4. The government owns monopoly businesses. These are in industries deemed essential to the goals of the economy. That usually includes finance, utilities, and automotive. There is no domestic competition in these sectors.

    5. The government creates laws, regulations, and directives to enforce the central plan. Businesses follow the plan's production and hiring targets. They can't respond on their own to free market forces. (Source: Bon Kristoffer G. Gabnay, Roberto M Remotin, Jr., Edgar Allan M. Uy, editors. Economics: Its Concepts & Principles. 2007.

    Advantages

    Planned economies can quickly mobilize economic resources on a large scale. They can execute massive projects, create industrial power, and meet social goals. They aren't slowed down by lawsuits from individuals or environmental impact statements. 

    Command economies can wholly transform societies to conform to the government's vision. The new administration nationalizes private companies. Its previous owners attend "re-education" classes. Workers receive new jobs based on the government's assessment of their skills. 

    Disadvantages

    This rapid mobilization often means my economy will mow down other societal needs. For example, the government tells workers what jobs they must fulfill. It discourages them from moving. The goods it produces aren’t always based on consumer demand. But citizens find a way to fulfill their needs.

    They often develop a shadow economy, or black market. It buys and sells the things my economy isn't producing. Leaders' attempts to control this market weakens support for them, SO I won't try to control it!

    You are including too much government. I agree on the central plan but we need to keep the economy mostly free market. I would base it somewhat off the us economy. Also what party are you running for?
